Q: The company I work for have requested that I provide them with a picture of myself which they want to use for an organogram. "An Organogram is a diagram that shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and positions/jobs." Is it permissible for me to take a photo for this purpose?
Q: What will the ruling be regarding the use of cctv camera if it is used for security purposes? Won't it be regarded as a need just as the taking of passport photos is allowed for a need though related to a worldly reason like a business trip?
Q: If someone lied to someone, but that lie neither caused the person harm nor benefits the one who lied. The one who spoke a lie is already ashamed for his this act in front of Allah so still is there any need that he should rectify by revealing to that person too?
Q: A friend has recently given me cat food for my pet cat, and I know that it is not permissible for her to consume it, what do I do with the food?
Q: The process adopted in live video streaming is no different to any other conventional picture. The only difference is that it is being captured and reproduced in such quick succession through modern day technology that one feels that one is watching it as it's happening, whereas this is not the case..... This was part or your response to a question. The thought just passed through my head what about cctv cameras? In the office, shop and home? Is it jaiz to have it?
Q: Is it permissible to do face painting etc for children?
Q: Is the following regarded as the person being dishonest?
Eg, person A asks person B about a certain event that had taken place during the weekend.. Now, person A knows that it had happened, and many other people know that that event took place and they also know that person B witnessed the event that took place, yet, when person B was asked if he was aware of knowing, his answer was ' I don't know, yes I was at that particular place at that time but I don't know if that event took place' ......the best part is that later on, person B admitted that he witnessed the event, yet, he argues that by him saying 'I don't know' doesn't mean that he was lying in the least bit... Mufti, was he lying when he was initially asked??
And also he comes up with a weird excuse that he knew person A was aware of the event etc, that's why he said he didn't know?? Yes, as childish as it seems, that's what he said.....
Q: When a recording like the voicemail on a telephone has a taped salaam, does one need to reply?
Q: A very common practise in electronic communication is to write inshAllah with capital A, alhamduliLlah with capital L etc in order to make ta'zeem of Allah's name. Is there virtue in doing this, or is it better to write "inshallah" and "alhamdulillah" without the capital letters, in order to avoid making it a bida'?
Q: There is a website that provides live streaming from the cameras within Makkah and Medina Shareef. Other than this live streaming, no other content is shown. I understand there is a difference of opinion in this matter, so I am uncertain as it will be permissible to view it.
